Question

Tennis balls are packaged in a silo-shaped container with a height of 23.5 cm and a radius of 2.9 cm. Find the surface area of the container.

Answer 1

481.04 cm²

Explanation:

A silo shaped container is shaped like a cylinder

The formula to solve for the Surface Area of a Cylinder =2πrh+2πr²

Radius = 2.9 cm

Height = 23.5 cm

=2×π×2.9 × 23.5 + 2×π×2.9²

= 481.04067 cm²

Approximately = 481.04 cm²

The surface area of the container is 481.04 cm²
